FAQs

What material are the Onitsuka Tiger California 78 EX trainers made of?

These trainers are primarily made of suede, with a rubber sole.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoes, they are best suited for casual wear and light activities. For intense or long-distance running, specialized running shoes are recommended.

How should I clean the 'Cream Grey' colorway?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner. Avoid washing with water and allow to air dry naturally.

What is the closure type for these trainers?

The closure type is lacing, allowing for an adjustable and secure fit.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet conditions, as water can damage the material. A suede protector spray can offer some resistance to light moisture.

What kind of heel does this model have?

The California 78 EX features a flat heel.

What is the main color of this specific variant?

This variant features a cream and grey color palette.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dirty or stained

Gently brush off dry dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a soft brush or cloth, following product instructions. Allow to air dry.

Fit feels too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing system. If the issue persists, ensure you have selected the correct shoe size. Laces can be fully loosened to reposition the tongue and foot.

Sole feels slippery

Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. For new shoes, a break-in period might be needed. If slipperiness is persistent on certain surfaces, consider the limitations of the tread pattern for those specific conditions.

Care:

  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to prevent dust accumulation and maintain shape.
